Ingredients
- 12 oz fettuccine pasta
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tbsp parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine pasta and cook until al dente according to package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir to combine and let it simmer gently for 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and the sauce becomes creamy. Avoid boiling the sauce as it may cause the cheese to separate.
Step 5
Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Step 6
Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta evenly in the Alfredo sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a few tablespoons at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Step 7
Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy your decadent Kittencal's Fettuccine Alfredo!
